(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Tuesday, July 30, 2002
Ehud Sprinzak and Robert J. Lieber, July 28, 2002:
Many critics of U.S. Mideast policy scold the Bush administration for wanting to go after Saddam Hussein before progress toward an Israeli-Palestinian peace is achieved. Yet there are compelling reasons why these critics are 180-degrees wrong. Successfully moving against the Iraqi president first, rather than later, would create conditions for a new and more realistic peace process.
UN Secretary-General Perez de Cuellar, January 15, 1991:
I have every assurance once again from the highest levels of government that with the resolution of the present crisis [Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait and the subsequent Gulf War], every effort will be made to address, in a comprehensive manner, the Arab-Israeli conflict, including the Palestinian question.
Judging by the success of the enterprise on its first attempt, I can hardly blame the warbloggers for their enthusiasm for a threatened round two. posted by Anonymous9:16 PM
